Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

    The event was very organized. Kathleen Fritch was our host, she was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful to the beginners in our group. She was very considerate of the each persons needs during our 2 hour photo walk. Over all I had a very enjoyable experience. Another hour longer would have been great but the good weather turned on us.

    I knew going in that this was a beginner class, even though I have been into photography for many years. I wanted to start with a baseline class, and then continue with more advanced classes, which is the reason that I signed up. For the beginner this was a very good class. The instructor was very approachable, informative, and made sure that all questions were answered, and was very patient with assisting other class members in setting up their cameras. The instructor covered all of the basic components of photography and did a really good job with the class.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Kathleen Fritch
    Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. There's something truly magical about capturing a moment in time and being able to share it with others. Whether it's the vibrant colors of a sunset, the intricate details of a flower, or the candid expressions of people, photography allows us to see the world in a unique and beautiful way.

    In addition to being a photographer, I am also an avid runner. Running keeps me energized and focused, and it has taught me the importance of patience and perseverance 2014qualities that are equally valuable in photography. Just like running, photography is about the journey as much as the destination. It's about exploring, experimenting, and finding joy in the process.

    So, let's get started and embark on this creative adventure together!

    Kathleen Fritch is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays from 2pm until 6pm for private tutoring.

    I was visiting Maryland and Washington DC as a tourist, doing some street photography and I found myself in the right place and the right moment (sunset) and walked around observing to decide my composition till I got in the right spot, so I got my tripod out, mounted the camera on it, and captured this especial moment in a urban landscape photography.

    Lafayette College had a few early-blooming Japanese Cherry Blossoms that I wished to photograph. While taking a leisurely stroll through the historic district of downtown Easton, I was struck by the picturesque view of College Hill across Route 22. I patiently adjusted my camera settings while waiting for traffic to clear, and finally, a moment presented itself when I was able to stand in the middle of the road to capture this shot.Sony a6600 (1/200 F8 ISO100) with a Tamron 18-300mm lens @ 76m

    This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

    I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

    This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
